It seems that the new integration with Ebay is affecting bids placed on Ebay. I can "Buy-It-Now", and I can "Make Offer". But I can no longer bid on ANY Ebay auction without using Gixen. This is the case in any browser, and on any computer, and on any country's Ebay site. Any attempt to enter a bid on Ebay results in "Page Not Responding". It's been happening for weeks.

An example is item number 263168931789 . In this auction I was attempting to make the opening bid on Ebay, as Gixen isn't necessary to make an opening bid, and I had no choice but to attempt the opening bid on Gixen.

Thanks Cupid and Mario. I've talked to Ebay customer support about this, and if you've ever talked to them about a technical issue, you know that you've only wasted many of your life's minutes away.

Just a shot in the dark, but being that the new Gixen is working more closely with Ebay, I thought I'd ask you this: Are my Gixen login password and my Ebay login password supposed to match? Because I currently don't have them matching. I DID have them match prior to the recent Gixen changeover.

The best advice is that your Gixen id and password should NOT match your Ebay credentials, both should be entirely different, for the sake of your own security.

However, because Gixen no longer knows what your Ebay password is, it can not, and will not, preclude you from having the same one as you have on Ebay, if you so wish and so long as that password meets the criteria set by both Ebay and Gixen for passwords (which, by the way, are quite different).

Gixen does not even preclude you from having the same Gixen id as you have Ebay id.

As I said, it is strongly advised that you choose different ones, as you (and I) have already done._________________Mark
